Hawke Sports Optics specifically designed and engineered their 1.5-5x32 XB1
Crossbow Scope and XB1 SR reticle for crossbows using bolts traveling at
speeds from 250-425 ft/s for optimum accuracy and ease-of-use. By placing
the reticle on the second focal plane, the zoom function changes the reticle's
subtensions, which allows you to calibrate the reticle to the bolt's speed
for greatly improved shot placement. Illuminated center aiming points provide
drop compensation out to 60 yards, with non-illuminated markers on the
posts give BDC aiming points from 70-100 yards. The illumination can be
selected between red or green with five intensity levels so it can be easy
to see in all light conditions including dawn or dusk, bright daylight,
or in exceptionally green backgrounds.
The objective is intentionally on the small side to maintain a low-profile and to keep the weight down. To offset the smaller objective are anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics which maximize light transmission and ensure bright and clear high-contrast images, and to boost its low-light performance when many game animals are most active - such as at dawn and dusk. Capped turrets help guard against accidental adjustments while a fast-focus collar and knurled rheostat allow you to quickly adapt to rapidly changing conditions. Complementing the performance of the scope is a lightweight and durable anodized aluminum housing with a 1" one-piece maintube that is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be water and fogproof.
Optical Performance
- 1.5-5x zoom range
- 32mm objective lens
- 11-layer anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics improves color fidelity, contrast, and overall image brightness
- 75-22.5' field of view at 100 yards
Reticle Details
- XB1 SR partially-illuminated duplex style
- Glass-etched to resist fading and shifting over time
- Designed for use with bolts traveling 250-425 ft/s
- Use the zoom to adjust the calibration for faster or slower bolts
- Reticle is placed on second focal plane, so the sub-tensions change with zoom settings for different speed bolts
- Hollow outer posts with thin inner hairs
- Illuminated center aiming crosses and indicators in hollow posts provide drop compensation from 30 to 100 yards
- 4-8" bracketing measure 1.5" across at each corresponding distance
- Ballistic specifications:
- Bow speed: 450 ft/s
- Ballistic coefficient: 0.0553
- Zeroed range: 20 yd
- Scope height: 2" (5.1cm)
- Partial illumination:
- Knurled Posi-Grip adjustment collar
- Five selectable brightness levels Choose between red and green colors
- Red is ideal for low-light conditions or in areas with green background where a green reticle can blend
- Green is easier to see in bright daylight than red
